SHORT TERM
(THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH SUNDAY)

A COLD FRONT HAS MOVED THROUGH THE AREA EARLY THIS AFTERNOON,
BRINGING GUSTY NORTH WINDS, AND COOLER TEMPERATURES INTO THE AREA.
HIGHS WILL LIKELY TOP OUT ONLY A FEW DEGREES WARMER THAN CURRENT
TEMPERATURES AS COLD AIR ADVECTION BEHIND THE FRONT FIGHTS WARMING
FROM FULL SUNSHINE. TONIGHT, BEHIND THE COLD FRONT, WINDS WILL
DIMINISH TO AROUND 5 MPH OR LESS, AND SKIES WILL REMAIN MOSTLY
CLEAR. THIS WILL ALLOW TEMPERATURES TO DROP INTO THE UPPER 20S TO
LOWER 30S ACROSS THE AREA. FOR SUNDAY, WINDS WILL TURN TO EASTERLY
BETWEEN 5 AND 10 MPH. WHILE WE WILL BE MOSTLY SUNNY, WE WILL STILL
BE WITHIN THE COOL AIR MASS BEHIND TODAY'S FRONT, KEEPING HIGHS IN
THE UPPER 50S TO MID 60S.
LONG TERM
(SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH NEXT SATURDAY)
ISSUED AT 218 PM CST SAT FEB 21 2026
SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE WILL BE CENTERED OVER NORTH TEXAS SUNDAY
MORNING. CLEAR SKIES AND LIGHT WINDS WILL RESULT IN ANOTHER NIGHT
OF FREEZING TEMPERATURES, WITH LOWS DIPPING DOWN INTO THE 20S.
SOUTHERLY FLOW RESUMES ON MONDAY AS THE SURFACE HIGH SHIFTS TO THE
EAST OF THE REGION. HIGHS ON MONDAY WILL STILL REMAIN NEAR
SEASONAL NORMALS IN THE MID 60S. UPPER LEVEL RIDGING BEGINS TO
BUILD INTO WEST TEXAS ON TUESDAY. SOUTH-SOUTHWEST WINDS WILL
BECOME GUSTY DUE TO DEEPENING LOW PRESSURE OVER THE PANHANDLE.
THE SOUTHWEST WINDS WILL RESULT IN TEMPERATURES CLIMBING INTO THE
MID TO UPPER 70S. WEDNESDAY WILL BE THE WARMEST DAY OF THE WEEK AS
THE 850 MB THERMAL RIDGE STRENGTHENS AND WINDS BECOME WESTERLY.
CURRENT FORECAST HIGHS ARE IN THE MID TO UPPER 80S WHICH IS STILL
BELOW RECORD HIGHS FOR THE DATE. AN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH DIVING DOWN
ACROSS THE PLAINS WILL SEND A DRY COLD FRONT THROUGH THE AREA ON
THURSDAY. TEMPERATURES WILL BE COOLER COMPARED TO WEDNESDAY BUT
